Jan 15, 2010 Berry, Carriers, Deals, Devices
Wirefly is at it again with an AMAZING deal on one of the best devices that Rim has put out yet. FREE Blackberry Bold 9700 for new or current customers on AT&T plus, FREE shipping and FREE activation. Its insane, but thats almost a $500 savings (as opposed to just walking in and buying one in the store).
You get one of the fastest 3G phones for nothing. nada. zip. So what are you waiting for? I would have ordered one already myself, but I already have the bold, I may however, upgrade my wife’s 9000….
Two Free Christmas themes for the Storm, 9000, 9630 and 9700!!
Well, ok, one is for the storm only (though I bet if you check out CoolBlackBerryThemes you can find it for other devices there) and the second one is for the Storm, 9000, 9630 and the 9700.
First up is the “Disney” theme for the Storm with OS 5.0 ONLY. Its a pretty cool theme with your favorite Disney Characters making an appearance on the screens. It also features some custom Christmas icons that help add to the flair of the theme. Rock out the Christmas Week with the Disney Theme by grabbing it OTA.
Up next is a theme designed for the Storm, the Bold 9000, the Bold 9700 and the Tour (9630). Its a simple and elegant theme that reminds the user of the Reason for the Season as we see two travelers (on on a donkey) headed towards the location of a bright star. It looks to be a today theme with movable icons. Like I said, its a really nice theme. You can grab it OTA:

AT&T Bold 9700 First Look
Nov 19, 2009 Devices
AT&T Bold 9700 Box
The contents of the box include the head phones, holster, charger, and CD with the Blackberry User Tools (BBDM). Also included is the Quick Start manual no one looks at. I will admit that when I first opened the box, I was a little taken back by the size of the 9700. I got used to the larger feel of the 9000, and the 9700 is a deal smaller in comparison. The back battery door slides off as opposed to the latching door on the 9000 and it has the same leathery patch on it that the 9000 has.
Boot time of the new phone was surprisingly fast, I’m sure that will slow a bit once I load some programs and my email in to the device, but for the moment, this is one of the quickest devices I’ve used. The Memory listed shows that there is 127mb of free space for apps, and 1.8gb of storage available. Its running OS 5.0.0.296 (Platform 5.1.0.83).
My initial observations of the 9700 are good, it looks and feels like a nicely made device. It does seem that it will take some time to get used to the trackpad as opposed to the ball, but the nice thing about the pad is that it won’t get stuck like the ball does (we hope). I’ll load the phone up with devices and use it a bit over the weekend and I’ll post a complete review with screenshots early next week.
More images after the jump!

Nov 16, 2009 Devices
In the Holy Kaw its about time category, I got an email today from a friend at AT&T announcing that the Blackberry Bold 9700 was available for Business customers through the Rep portal and through the Premier online store. This is awesome news for those business users wanting something new. From the email:
Today, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is available for sale to ABS customers served via Phoenix and Premier On Line. The new 3G BlackBerry Bold 9700 offers powerful performance with sleek, refined design and is only the second handset to join the elite BlackBerry Bold family of smartphones
Another good tidbit from the email is that it will be live for EVERYONE else on November 22nd.
Also announced was the 8520:
BlackBerry Curve 8520
Today, AT&T also announced the new BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone, which will be available to AT&T customers in the coming weeks. The 2.5G BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the latest addition to the best-selling Curve family and offers significantly improved processor speed and memory compared to the Curve 83XX series.
Its about time the Curve gets some AT&T love!
Edit: Price on the 9700 for upgrade/new accounts is apparently $174.99!!
